40 Days For Life - Join in!

Another 40 Days for Life campaign is coming very soon!

Thank you to all the 123 communities in 43 U.S. states, four Canadian provinces – and Australia – that are hosting 40 Days for Life events in their cities and towns from February 25 – April 5. Click here for the complete list.

40 Days for Life consists of 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion, 40 days of constant, peaceful vigil outside abortion centers and Planned Parenthood offices and 40 days of active pro-life community outreach.

The campaign dates of February 25 through April 5 coincide with the Christian season of Lent. “It’s a perfect match,” said spring campaign director Shawn Carney. “Lent is a season of prayer, fasting, repentance and renewal. It is our prayer that the efforts of the thousands of people who will participate in 40 Days for Life in their home towns will touch hearts and minds, save lives – and show that extreme pro-abortion policies do not resonate with the values of this nation.”
